I wonder whether 'And so he spoke' is necessarily what it sounds like. It could be the speaker of the first two lines - or it could a third party making some kind of speech, as a marker of time.

'I saw it take flight' - what can 'it' be? There's a few flying entities in Middle-earth, but I'm wondering at something like an arrow - or the Ring?

Arrow is the closest, though there are other similar things that can 'take flight'. 'And so he spoke' does indeed refer to the speaker of first two lines, which are more or less a paraphrase of the book text.
